#6feb2019-- Freecad team now got a an app.image of it,(edited :only 64bit),stable and dev ones. Those sfs are now ¨obselete¨, for those big dependencies hungry packages like freecad,appimage are win win solution.So,eventually we will be more likely to see addon of the app.image,sfs or app or pet or modified app.image of ¨official¨ ones.Started a new topic on Freecad appimage topic were we will look at test,revision, perhaps editing if needed...
Heekscad should see here sfs updates...or flag of its appimage if it come to it... and maybe 32bit freecad,if ask for it,because,lets be realistic,it need ram,cpu power,so ,who would run that old hardware,few.
#21dec2018--a fatdog800 freedcad-daily+full dependencies test sfs....100% warranty free..from same tahr builds,not fully functionnal, play safe,backup savefile/folder. ( freecad-daily_0.18-beta-fatdog-64bit_2018-12-17=168 Mb),but it may be the only test.
#18dec2018-edited x 2-if you read it before ,it shure was confusing...sorry testing all tahrpup/xenial/32/64bit+bionicpup64+fixes strain the higgledy-piggledy me...
-uploaded(this453deps.sfs) a new freecad 32bit dependencies sfs for 32bit FC found here,in tahrpup & xenial ,old one was missing 1 lib,
libboost_python-py27.so.1.55.0 , fixed in the new 453.sfs and smaller in size than old 452.
Good thing helping "compatibility"of tahr,xenial,bionicpup for those freecad sfs is that they mostly use non native(currently not included within puppy's)
dependencies,so,no rush to make a dedicate version for each puppy...until dev team stop building it for tahr...or get it qt5 only..
#17dec2018-- freecad-daily-0.18-beta sfs updated (64bit)(32bit) --lots new ...
-32bit sfs need the same as before (this452deps.sfs)
-64bit sfs include dependencies.
note:
-1:wont for now try make 32bit freecad for newer puppy,its tahrpup tested and should run on xenialpup,but with tweaks you can use its 64bits sfs with *bionicpup64 .but,you will need qt4"base"+fixes:
-----instal from ppm >qt4 opengl+deps+qt4 svg and (this fixlibs.pet)
-2 feel sorry i left aside blendercad,i liked it a lot,but ,the ambitious project of freecad,the team efforts in development deserve the interest,with the sad "side effect".... next year....soon,should update Heekscad..

#1july2018--freecad-daily-0.18-beta sfs (64bit)(32bit) --path module and many more matured a lot ...unpacked with dependencies fc is fat,no surprises for so much features.
-32bit sfs need the same as before (this452deps.sfs)
-64bit sfs include dependencies.
#16apr2018--freecad-daily-0.18-beta (64bit)(32bit) --not yet qt5 build...so,it work.
No big difference from 0.17 "Roland"release,more of a "test of concept"...
Deleted oldies from this post and Gdrive.
#10apr2018--freecad-0.17 stable sfs(64bit)(32bit)
Again,32bit sfs need (this.sfs)xenialpup CE &tahrpup tested.
New freecad 0.18 will be qt5 build,my few attempt yet with everything touching qt5 where all fruitless -edit:its getting there in 2019...qt5 was officially released on 19 December 2012...outch...
#14feb2018--New freecad-daily 17 alpha1 from
git20180213(64bit)(32bit)
Again,-32bit sfs need (this.sfs)
-64bit sfs include dependencies.

# mai 15--Guess i could rename title cam/cad/linux/puppy/whatever..
Add a blender cam sfs for testing ,85Mb,same googledrive.Tested only on tahrpup,should work with other as its linux build ,no specific distro.
I did remove libGlU libGl from original causing me problem.
Check your cpu at work with that !

<***>Know problems&missing,n/a functions & possibles solutions:
lots
look online for changelog /todo or report/suggest some to devs...
Plenty of help and tutorials online.
Again ,save often ..

It got enough cam functions to do a lot,until freecad got his own cam module .After hours of trials&errors,confirmed:lots of bugs,EDIT: sorry Mr Heeks... when you know what you are doing& what not to... it work very nicely ,the program for now, this linux version(maybe it is the same for the M$ version??!!), just dont give lots of feedback on what problems/design flaws sometime prevent machine/code generation,even in console ,Lets keep in mind the complexity of the task here,it justified the price of Ma$tercam...
or crowdfunding of opensource cam project a must...
A great work in progress ,thank Mr Heeks&all.

Thanks to Vilém Novák ,Bernhard Braun & all.

Also out of five sfs you have listed what do you recommend.
What they do individually.
I am a linux noob. I have used Autocad previously. I don't know or used any cad software in Linux. I just need this to teach basic usage to my friend ( I hope it is similar to Autocad).

I mainly use Fatdog.
I am at work now. I will install tahrpup when I get home.

If you look for 2d cad only you could try LibreCAD ,its 2d only,of course 3d (Freecad,heekscad ,blender) or 2d DraftSight,etc. would do the job. I never used Autocad ,so, cannot guide you to your best bet in linux cad choices closest to it.

I agree the first post ,even if I tried to make it clear could be confusing,its a "work in progress" to improve explanations to what's what clearly.The autodidact jack of all trades I am is open to suggestions!

I work mit
5.1_freecad0.15+oce0.16+assembly2_git20150318_main_6.0.2.sfs
need:4_5_freecad-dev0.15deps_only.sfs
on Tahr6.0.2 and it works great!
With the modul "DrawingDimensions" it is very easy to Draw the Dimensions.
With WinXP it works perfect put in Puppy the modul numpy can not be found.
I have download this Python-Modul numpy-1.9.2.zip but can not install into Freecad.
Need Help!

yes Wolfgang ,Heekscad is oce0.15(only) compatible.
You made me realise that it was not clear in that old file named:
2freecad-dev0.15+git201408250402+deps_5.8.3.rc1.sfs.....
that it use oce0.15 and the possible confusion because that
same freecad-dev0.15 version number.
Solutions..
I got : 2freecad.....rc1.sfs + 4_5.deps...sfs+5_freecad....sfs
+ heekscad..sfs and it all work.,
a ram hungry working solution,
or use the beauty of puppy/sfs<>fast install\uninstall.

i just clarify the fisrt post,again...and files names.
todo> integrate oce0.15 within heekscad .sfs
and clean some more that 1st post!

do you know gsimple?
http://www.gsimple.eu/
It is much smaller than Heeks and is somehow easier to use!
Until now I used for the simulation CncSimulator but since it is a bit older I am looking for another solution.
The problem is that it is a Windows program and I have not made it all set so that you can use the built-in editor! I have to enter the program in a separate editor and then load only in CNCSimulator. This is a bit complicated!
There should be a program in which the CNC program can be entered in order then to simulate immediately.
Do you know something like that?
